Well, I only have Android 5.1 here. Lock screen notification shows only
sender, subject, mail account, number of emails. I didn't try any of the
other settings. I have no idea what interactions might be going on
between K-9 and Android 8's lock screen.

For the record, I still need help with this, if anyone’s around.

New K-9 Mail: v5.600
Same problem. Lock screen notifications either display everything –
sender, subject, body, etc. – or (with “Hide subjects in notifications”
enabled) only which account received the email and the email count. The
granular control under Notifications → Lock Screen Notifications doesn’t
work at all.
Would really appreciate any help here.

Hello,
I have a problem where whatever setting I choose under Settings →
Notifications → Lock Screen Notifications (such as “Application
name”, “Message count and senders”, etc.) is ignored; K-9
notifications are always the same regardless. This changes when I
hide subject lines under Settings → Privacy → Hide subject in
notifications, in which case my “Lock Screen Notifications” setting
is /still/ ignored, but I get a different notification instead.
The only “Lock Screen Notifications” setting that /does/ work is “No
lock screen notifications”, which hides them as expected.
I’ve run a battery of tests, and here’s a table of the results for
each setting combination:
_*Hide Subject OFF*_
*No lock screen notifications:* [none]
*App name:* K-9 Mail · <[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>>
*<Sender Name>*
<subject line>
*Unread count:* K-9 Mail · <[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>>
*<Sender Name>*
<subject line>
*Message count and senders:* K-9 Mail · <[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>>
*<Sender Name>*
<subject line>
*Same as unlocked:* K-9 Mail · <[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>>
*<Sender Name>*
<subject line>
_*Hide Subjects ON*_
*No lock screen notifications:* [none]
*App name:* K-9 Mail
*<#> Unread (<[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>)*
New mail
*Unread count:* K-9 Mail
*<#> Unread (<[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>)*
New mail
*Message count and senders:* K-9 Mail
*<#> Unread (<[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>)*
New mail
*Same as unlocked:* K-9 Mail
*<#> Unread (<[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>)*
New mail
As it stands, my options are a) notifications that show everything
(bad for privacy), or b) notifications that only show the number of
unread emails in each account’s inbox. I would prefer “Message count
and senders”, if it worked; that would tell me all I need to know
without sensitive personal information to a snoop.
I’m using K-9 Mail v5.403 (the latest as of this writing) on an Asus
Zenfone 3 (ZE552KL) with Android 8.0.
Does anyone else have this problem? And is there any way to fix it?
My thanks to anyone who replies.
